The above technique proved right to me and from that moment on, I’ve never contracted vampirism ever again. I did my Dawnguard faction with a dragonbone sword and once I killed the freaking Harkon, I switched to my dragonbone dagger. > Sneak and kill with bow from distance or with sword while sneaking ( why a sword ? Because before I had a dagger and bc the dagger is small, you need to get closer to the enemy to hit and kill with a sword, you reach your enemy from a longer distance in compare allowing you to keep more distance and avoid being bitten. So, from that moment on, I was not facing vampires in an open fight as I was doing before but using my own strategy : It was ridiculous and out of sense to me. So, in those occasions I had to reload my game to avoid dealing with the cure. That’s why I opened a thread long ago regarding that issue because it did not make any sense to me that if you are a werewolf, you can contract vampirism but it did happen to me twice. Although I haven't confronted one yet, I know where there are some. I'm confused.Īm I right that they would be more powerful at night?Īlso: as I am about to download all 3 DLCs, am wondering how the vampires (I think it's Dawnguard) differ from those in Skyrim standard.Īny advise on werewolves would also be greatly appreciated. I would assume that full vampires suffer even more severly from it, but, as I said, they certainly don't seem to show any signs of weakness. Now I can understand the thralls being out and about, but the Vampires? Whenever I contract that 'vampire virus' (and I have repeatedly and cured myself), I am let known that I am feeling weak at sunrise. While I normally use sneek and arrows, I have found that they seem surprisingly spry in the middle of the morning. I am under the assumption that, if I arrive in the morning (after daybreak), even if they're underground (in a cave say), that they would be at their weakest and thus, easiest to kill. While I enjoy taking out nests of vampires, I often wonder at the best methodology for it, particularly time of day.
